  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup coconut water
  • 1/2 cup sparkling water
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Mint leaves, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Wash Strawberries: Begin by washing the fresh strawberries thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities.
  2. Hull Strawberries: Hull the strawberries by cutting off the green stems with a small knife or using a hull remover.
  3. Place in Bowl: Place the hulled strawberries into a clean mixing bowl.
  4. Mash Strawberries: Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to mash the strawberries in the bowl until they are broken down into a thick, juicy pulp.
  5. Add Honey: Next, add the tablespoon of honey to the mashed strawberries.
  6. Add Lemon Juice: Pour in the tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, being careful to avoid any seeds that may fall into the mixture.
  7. Combine Ingredients: Stir the strawberry mixture gently with a spoon to combine the honey and lemon juice thoroughly with the mashed berries.
  8. Add Coconut Water: Now, add the 1/2 cup of coconut water into the bowl with the strawberry mixture.
  9. Add Sparkling Water: Pour in the 1/2 cup of sparkling water to bring some effervescence to the drink.
  10. Mix Drink: Give the entire mixture a gentle stir, ensuring the coconut water and sparkling water blend evenly with the strawberry puree.
  11. Prepare Glass: Prepare a glass by filling it with ice cubes to your desired level.
  12. Pour Mixture: Carefully pour the strawberry mixture over the ice cubes in the glass, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
  13. Garnish: To garnish, take a few fresh mint leaves and gently slap them between your hands to release their oils, then place them on top of the mocktail.
  14. Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Springtime Strawberry Sipper Mocktail!

Notes

  • Use fresh ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness in your mocktail.
  • Adjust the honey quantity to your preferred level of sweetness or substitute with a different sweetener if desired.
  • For a stronger mint aroma, you can muddle the mint leaves slightly before garnishing.
  • This mocktail is best served immediately to enjoy the fizz of the sparkling water.
  • To make it vegan, ensure the honey is replaced with a plant-based sweetener such as agave syrup.
